Where does the HySTrAm journey stand now?

From the preliminary reactor designed by Aalborg University and the innovative catalyst and sorbent materials testing results provided by Johnson Matthey and Technical University of Eindhoven, Hysytech has conceived the final reactor configuration.

In terms of safety, Hysytech has led an exhaustive Hazard and Operation Analysis (HAZOP) at ANWIL facilities. Based on the analysis, Hysytech identified deviations and defined actions to mitigate their risks. As a result, safety is now ensured in our prototype.

At present, Hysytech is coordinating the procurement of equipment and instrumentation for the pilot. On the other hand, ANW is preparing their facilities to ensure the supply of all necessary materials and services, including instrumental air, electricity, internet connection, nitrogen and hydrogen. This effort is crucial for the successful operation of the prototype.

In the coming months, the ammonia production test campaign will be running. This process will enable the consortium to get more accurate information about the performance of the HySTrAm technology under different scenarios. The contribute significant value to future studies and the development of the HySTrAm technology toward sits commersialisation.
